News coming in of a direct attack on Israel by Iran involving over 200 missiles and drones.
We are told that neither country wants to get involved.
This is madness.

My birthday is the 14th of February, Mary’s was the 15th and Chris’s is the 19th so one year I rang John and suggested we have a dressed up evening and take our ladi...

Still an interesting article.....

Sorry, I forgot to look. It's the the CI explosion box at the back of the boiler. The loose lids would be blown off and relieve pressure on the brickwork in the event of an explosion when the two streams of gas from the furnaces met in the sole flue at the back of the boiler. (If one furnace was rec...

Chicken and veggies X three. The lamb shanks will get roasted for a treat today.

[At this time I was a member of the British Berlin Yacht Club which had Herman Goering's boathouse on the Havel See and the German ...

You sink into Autumn Cathy as we slowly warm up to summer. The showers that were forecast for yesterday afternoon did happen but were very light and by 20:00 we had a light breeze a clearing sky and it was dry. First thing this morning was the same but noticeably cooler and it hasn't changed since. ...

That's a good point Peter. I can't help feeling we went wrong somewhere with education. I suggested elsewhere when commenting on the use of 19th century methods to manufacture lathes in India that perhaps the basic problem the 'advanced' countries have is that, as a species, we are far to clever for...

It is a dangerous and complicated mess and has little do do with common sense or even respect for human life.
As I have been heard to say before, the world has gone mad.

There was another attempt to deliver the white vinegar yesterday. The courier was very polite and understood the problem but unfortunately in the system he has to use there is no provision for a delivery refused because it is the wrong item. He is going to do his best. He was very polite and underst...

I never suggested it was, just reporting a suspicion doesn't require absolute proof.....

Thanks for reminding me of that woman. I had forgotten her and shouldn't have! See THIS Kuenssberg article on Angela Rayner. "Everyone says they want to have a woman around who drinks and smokes and makes jokes. "Then they get a woman who drinks and smokes and makes jokes, then they say, '...

Thanks for the heads up David! I shall only bother if it's free and available in walking distance.

I am reminded of the saying.... "Youth is wasted on the young."
I shall be in the shed at 06:00 for an hour. After second sleep I shall post a letter and then I expect a visit from Susan and Mick. I think I shall still recognise them!

A life for labor. I never got any publicity, but that never bothered me. It was enough just to get your ideas across. Clara Mortenson Beyer, 1987. Clara Beyer was right about the publicity; her life is a ‘behind the scenes’ story. But she got her ideas across to her grandson, Don Beyer. Don was 40 w...

Yes, I heard that statement this morning and it just makes my feeling that this is all about Tories muddying the electoral waters instead of getting on with bog standard electioneering more strong.....

I've been watching the interrogation of Fujitsu executives at the PO enquiry.
The barristers are being very thorough and are getting the most damning admissions out of them.
I don't see how heads can't roll after this......

And the history of how this came about should be recognised and preserved. I'm not aware of it being taught in schools so do today's kids have any inkling? Do they even recognise the difference between stone and concrete? I suspect we'd be surprised if we knew.....

:good: https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28619/medium This morning is made up of small tasks. I marked all three slugs with the offset centre for the crank pin. 3/4" offset. Then I addressed the matter of my 3 Jaw chuck. It is old and worn and is bell mouthed. I have bee...

We are still a stone-built town. The brick exceptions to this stand out like sore thumbs so bumped again.
